Eight terrorists are killed by security forces in two KP IBOs.

Eight Khwarij were killed in two different security forces operations on December 5, according to the Pakistan Army’s media wing.

“An intelligence-based operation was conducted in general area Sararogha, South Waziristan District, on the reported presence of Khwarij,” according to ISPR.

“Own troops successfully engaged the Khwarij location during the operation, as a result of which two Khwarij were killed, including ring leader Khan Muhammad alias Khoryay, and two Khwarij were apprehended,” the statement stated.

“Khan Muhammad alias Khoryay was involved in numerous terrorist activities in the area, including target killing and extortion,” the statement added. “He was highly wanted by the law enforcement agencies, and the government had laid Rs 1 million in head money on him.”

Another intelligence-based operation was carried out in the Lakki Marwat District, where the security forces were able to neutralize six Khwarij following a fierce gunfight.

“Sanitization efforts are underway to eradicate any additional Kharji in the region, as Pakistani security forces are committed to eliminating the threat of terrorism from the nation,” ISPR stated.
